Fitness blog---A cool new toy for your workouts

[Marissa Lily]

In my last blog I mentioned that you should buy yourself something to motivate you to wok out. Here is a fantastic option-the Sansa Clip.

This little MP3 player makes your workouts so much more enjoyable. you can now run on a treadmill without getting tangled up in cords, worrying about where you are going to put your iPod, having your iPod bounce around in your pocket or fall out, or have to watch whatever random things they have on the TVs at the gym!

You can easily use it on walks, on runs, on the treadmill or while weightlifting. I only used to use my iPod when running on the treadmill because I needed the music to motivate me, but I was very happy to be able to walk around with my mp3 player attached to my shirt and lift weights safely and comfortably. I can even do pushups and burpees without having to worry about anything!

Oh, and a little tip everyone, you clip it onto your shirt near the waist and then run the earbud cords under your shirt and then out the collar! This way, no matter what type/brand of music player you have, you aren't going to get tangled in the cords.

The Sansa Clip is similar to an iPod shuffle, it has a little clip on the back to attach it to your clothes, it is very small and light, it is meant for on the go use or workouts and it is under $100.

The benefits of the Sansa Clip over the iPod shuffle
Price (ranges from $39-$79)
Storage Space (ranges from 1gb to 4gb)
It has an FM radio
It has a screen and the ability to make on the go playlists!!


Check it out on the Sansa website

You know what a burpee is, maybe you didn't know what one is called. it is where you jump back into a plank position, do a pushup and jump back up to standing.

Okay, what's a burpee...
And I learned about lacing the cord under my shirt the hardway after I almost ripped my ears one time when I was doing deadlifts and the cord got all caught up...

I like that it's so compact, and it comes in pink! (That's pretty much my default criteria.) SanDisk products are generally a good bet too and there are rumours of an 8GB Sansa coming soon!
